Re: Features & Setup Questions
Since Frances gave you some pointers on subgroups, I'll limit myself to the Transfer questions.
TransferYou have to create the subgroups before starting a transfer for them.? They can have any name you think appropriate.? On the transfer page, you'll enter the Yahoo group to transfer from and the GIO group to use as the destination. Are subgroup memberships automatically transferred or do they have to be confirmed?Members of the groups that will be going into subgroups are added to the main group as well as the subgroup. After the bulk transfer, can late poster and straggler info be transferred?Anything that happens on the YG after the transfer will need to be moved manually by you. About how long will the actual transfer take? From request to initiation?That's the $64,000 question.? Recent reports have run 2 days to 2 weeks.? It all depends on how many requests are in line.? Each of your transfers to a subgroup would e an additional item on the list. Does anyone know if we can put a lock on the Yahoo message boards after the transfer?Many people close their YG to new posts before giving the Go Ahead to transfer.? That prevents missing posts.? There may be something similar you can do for files, photos, databases, etc, but I'm not familiar with them. Does anyone happen to know if Yahoo will be deleting their message archives on Oct 28 or the Dec date?Based on the announcement, and my interpretation, the deletion of everything will be on Dec 14. After the bulk transfer, can the subgroup names be changed?You can change a group or subgroup name any time you want, but there are side effects.? You should be able to find information on that by searching this groups message archives.? "group name change" (without quotes) will find much of it. If you still have questions about the transfer or subgroups after going over these replies, please ask.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to copy it there as it'll be out of sync as soon as someone edits one of them. Is there a way to link to that particular portion of the Quick Start Guide? IMO it would be better to have the detailed info under "Member Notices" and a link from the Quick Start, but it's not my call.Done! The wiki is a collaborative effort done by members of GMF. A couple of areas are locked so only moderators can edit. But neither of these are locked.? Thanks.

Re: [email protected] isn't a member of my Yahoo group
Edward, I did all of that and there is no [email protected] as a member and no one has deleted them. It's a long-shot, but maybe try the browser ritual on your Y!Groups Manage Members page. The ritual addresses a kind of sync mismatch that might cause stale page data to be shown. ? I even checked the moderator & member activity logs and don't see any mention of a [email protected]. I don't know what your experience has been, but in several of my Yahoo Groups the absence of a log entry tells you exactly nothing. Some of the tabs on that page have stopped updating altogether in some groups, and in others new items add to the log hours or days after the event. I was on top of this and checked right away when I received this email to promote them to moderator. Support may be right that there's nothing they can do. They accepted the invitation, and if they can access the group as a member but not promoted to a moderator then they're stuck too. I don't know what to suggest other than to keep checking the Yahoo Group's members list, using Ctrl+F5 periodically to try and sync the data.

Another thing, I have my members click on a link to subscribe to my new group.? Is there a limit as to how many I can approve at a time.? I saw a 20 day limit in one of the help subjectsThere's no limit on any of them.? For those that apply via web or email, just approve them.? Even when inviting or direct adding more than 20 per day, do them all at once and they'll be approved shortly.
